Man with the Screaming Brain
« on: September 10, 2005, 12:45 PM »
I saw a preview for this on Sci Fi today, it's comes on I think at 8pm Central Time.  It looks like it could be very humorous.  It stars and was directed by Bruce Cambell.



Man with the Screaming Brain is a story of greed, betrayal and revenge in a small Bulgarian town. William Cole, wealthy industrialist, winds up with part of his brain replaced by that of a Russian cab driver Yegor. The two couldn't be more different, but they share one thing - both were killed by the same woman. Brought back to life by a mad scientist, William and Yegor form an unlikely partnership to track down their common nemesis.

I love Bruce Cambell, so I'll try and catch the re-run. I almost bought the comic book adapatation of this, I think, but I decided to wait for this to air.

I saw this about 6 or 7 weeks ago at a theater where Bruce Campbell came in and did a Q&A and so on.

I thought it was pretty funny and it was typical of Bruce Campbell - low low buget, but great if you're into this kind of stuff.

I was about to start a thread about this. :) It is just starting here, I think it is going to be hilarious. I love Bruce Campbell.

My wife and I are big BC fans, but this movie was terrible. Not even good terrible.  After an hour, we decided to go to bed.  It was that dull.

I think just about every "original" movie that the Sci Fi channel airs aton Saturday night is horrible.  I've long since given up on trying to watch them.
This is the way.


I have spoken.

I thought it was OK. It had some funny moments but for the most part it wasn't that good. This wasn't one of Bruce's better movies. I was hoping for the next AoD, oh well.

Caught some of this yesterday, thought it was rather hokey.
